Dear Sirs:—Would you please set
nett/ my subscription to your•' paper
for another ear -for vhieh !:enclose
a Postal Note for: $1,50.' I 'also en
close a -few notes on "Ice -Cutting in
!Montreal" which. might interest :tome
of-your:;teaders.
At. preaent, we are in ` the midst, of
. ear :annual . ieitharvest. Our ice-
nlerchapts;.:•during the last. week of
Jantlal'y and the first thr:ea aweeks of
di obruar'y, pack away in their store-:
houses :sone*;400,000 .tons of ice each
1
.year.:,•f his .amount! shrinks; due to
likIndling, :dividing up .' into 10-1b.
blocks land . exposure to sunrner sun
•during delivery, to about 280,004 tons
for actual use; To this must bead,
ded 60,000 tons . of artificial ide .,and
also the ice produced, in: 25,000 mesh-
- animal refrigerators which have been
built into otic modern dwellings.
By far the greater portion of this
amount is garnered from' the still
waters in' that part of the `River St.
Lawrence, which is about a mile- wide
near Montreal, lying between .the
channel ;'and the south shore.` Tiais.,
`water comes principally. from. Lake
Qntario and it not polliited like por-
•bone of the river between the chafe`'
net and' the north shore is apt to, be..
The water is tested, by the- city in' -
.
n=. specters before permits for ice -crit-•
• ting are granted and these tests are
ie -checked :after the' isa has been re
moved,
This year: our best quality of ice is
from 26 to 30 inches thick. The, ice
fieldsare marked off after the snow
hae been removed and' are: then sawn
into blocks, each -weighing froin 700
.'to 1000 lbs They are then loaded
. into waitings_fi-ton• trueits' and, coitvey•
•ed to the storehouses: • When''bloeks
of 'these • dimensions can' he loaded" and
conveyed inthese heavy trucks,- iti-1
stead of being •hauled by teams eS
horses, they are handled`inore expedi !
tiously and profitably than by any
formermethods.
For the most part, the old methods
of ice -cutting ,by, the, • hand -saw or
pfough-sa,V,, 'drawn bY a hOrse, have
i c r e o er `
.been c lista d d The m n method d
r ice -c t i " mas
is by..using- a. Powe U, zng,,
z�
cl ,iven by a motor; mounted on cater-
pillar wheels: This is manned by two
men and the- machine can cut front-
7,000
rom
7,000 to 10,000 blocke, each weighing
up` to 1000 lbs. per day. This repre-
sents a daily cut from one machine of
front 3,500 to $;000 tons: This ma-
chine replaces 15 men with 15 teams.
rormeziy there wore about -600 men
engaged in the ice -harvesting blit by
using modern 'methods' only 300 men
are employed. The'result ' Is that
half of'the former 'number of melt
can garner the 'complete ice -harvest
hi one-third of the fernier aline. 'Not-
withstanding the large amount of
money saved by the use of this labor-
saving machinery and the satisfad
tory work of these 5•toti trucks, it is
amusing to note the timber and va-
riety of .the excuses; • made by , the.
ice -merchants for 'boosting .the. Sinn
mer' prices.
The,necedsity for speed in these
harvesting -operations lies lathe vag-
aides of nature.., Thaws, heavy rains
and storms may come at any' time
and render impossible the continuance
of -the ivorlt• Also if the harvesting
Were unduly, extended, ' into March, • as
in former years, when the handsaw
and the ploughsaw had tor be the sole
-dependents for the sawing' `' of ; the
blocks, our present,ice-ur'eakers would
soon destroy the lines of:ebntmunica-
tion between the harvest fields land
the store -houses. - These .ice-br•e ekers,•
travelling •in,•: pairs ostially leave
Quebec for Montreal on It vch 1st'
but this year `they leave on Feb; 23rd
as per schedule. The distance to
Montreal is 139 knots -approximately
162 land miles and this is accomplish-
ed in three'or three and a half weeks.
The storms which usually occur chtr-
ing March and 'the inevitable and un-:
avoidable breaks .to the -propeller
blades striking the heavy blocks pt
ice, "render the work arduous.' ' The
captains of , these ice:brealters are
warmlyt complimented and 'congr�atu-.
lated if they ,can anchor at the,
,wtiatrves of The .Imperiol Old Co, at
tare suburbs of Montreal by St. Pat-
r'ick's Day.

WINTER MOONLIGHT
Quietly on a velvet stair a,
The moon walks down the night,
!Casting faint beams at shadows
where
Theyspurn her misty light. .
Tall pines espeetantly4•await
Her. jewelled vestments .rare,
While shrubs their tuneless song's
abate
A. filmy sheen to wear.
Across the snowlelad lowlands creep
Deep shadows all blue and White,
As furry folk their vigils keep
With eyes of keenest sight.
And 1, who tread a lonely road;
The silent beauty feel,—
Lightening thus my heavy load
As moonbeams round rile steal.
